Transcript of Learning Spaces

Virtual SpaceAny location where people can meet using networked digital devices. Learning Theories Learning consisted of memorization; today it relies on understanding.The Constructive TheoryImplies that learning is best served when it is:

Contextual - taking into account the student's understanding.

Active - engaging students in learning activities that use analysis, debate, and criticism (as opposed to simply memorization) to receive and test information

Social - using discussions, direct interaction with experts and peers, and team-based projectsThe New ClassroomThe notion of the classroom has both expanded and evolved; virtual space has taken its place alongside physical space.LEARNING SPACESWhat does it mean?Learning - ActivitySpace - Environment Construct (Physical)- Library- Cafe- OfficeWORLD WIDE WEBIn these and other ways, technology acts as the lever that makes it possible to develop new and more effective pedagogies.Refers to:- Synchronous- AsynchronousUnlike physical spaces, virtual spaces come and go.real - virtual classroom - chat room*Classroom Technology- Constructivism contradicts the idea that learning is the transmission of content to a passive receiver.- Knowing:

remember and repeat.- Understanding:construct knowledge by understanding new informationConclusion Even though technology is a very huge step in humanity, it doesn't guarantee the actual learning of the students. As everything it has it's pros and cons, but it can be a helpful way of teaching.

Keeping in mind that learning space design requires a collaborative, integrated approach, with an overarching vision that informs and supports specific projects.Questions
